Habitat at Risk

West Bay sits at the intersection between the built and natural environments. The wide promenade, built in the 1880s to replace a narrow rocky beach path, makes West Bay easily accessible to walkers, wheelchair users and cyclists.

A community-owned and run site that includes spaces to sit and enjoy nature and the view. Blairmore Gardens also has facilities to allow people to enjoy and identify nature including some interpretation boards, bug hotels and an insect viewer. There are raised beds where people can bring food to grow and share. At the top of the field, there is a large, mature oak tree that is home to lots of wildlife and various types of gall such as oak apples, silky button galls and spangle galls.
